OVEN-SWAB.

SPECIFICATION forming part 0f Letters Patent N0. 705,979, dated 'uly 29, 1902.

Application iled March 22, 1902. Serial No. 99,555. (No model.)

To all whom it may'concern:

Be it known that I, GUs'rAvE W. TEEICHEL, a citizen of United States. residing at Philadelphia, in the county ofPhiladelphia and State of Pennsylvania,have invented new and useful Improvements in Oven-Swabs,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to oven-swabs; and its object is to provide a cheap, durable, and efficient device which will perform the service of swabbing in an efficient and expeditious manner.

In order to appreciate the advantages of my improved construction of swab, reference should be had to the following description, in connection with the 'accompanying drawings, in .whichy Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the invention complete. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail perspective view of one end of the swab head or' holder, the cloth being detached; and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same.

The reference numeral l designates the handle, which may be of any desired length and on one end of which is the head 2. This head is provided on one end with a hollow rectangular casing 3, the sides of which are open and have longitudinal bars '4: in the center thereof. The end of thevcasing is provided with a centrally positioned perforation 5, through which projects the shank of a linkbar 6, on one end of which is a spherical head '7, slightly larger than the perforation and which is designed to move freely within the casing 3 Asimilar to a universal joint.

Thejnars 4 are provided to obviate the liability of the head-7 projecting through the open sides of the casing 3. An elongated slot 8 is provided in the opposite end of the link, through which a spring lap-link 9 is secured. The swab-cloth l0 is carried by this lap-link, which forms a securing device therefor and can readily be removed should occasion demand.

By employing a construction such as is illustrated, and described above the swab-cloth may be swung at practically any angle less than a right angle to the handle l, thus insuring the thorough kcleansing of the oven. The liability of the parts becoming detached or broken will be greatly diminished without obstructing the removal of the swabcloth at the proper time.

1. A swab comprising a head having an opening in 4one end` thereof, a link-bar projecting through the opening and secured to the head and a cloth-securing device carried by the link-bar.

2. A swabdcomprising a head, a casing on one end thereof and provided with a perforation, a headed link -bar projecting through the opening, anda cloth-securing device carried by the link-bar.

3. A swabcomprising a head, a casing on one end thereof and provided with open sides and an opening in its end, a headed bar pro jecting through the opening :in the end of the head, bars on the open sides of the head and a cloth-carrying device secured to the bar.

In testimony Lwhereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
